  1. Haemophilia is one of the STD

  2. Genital herpes and sickle cell anaemia are both STD

  3. Chances of a five years old boy contracting a STD are very little

  4. A person may contract syphilis by sharing milk with one already suffering from disease

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Sexually transmitted infections are more common in 15-24 years age group. Gonorrhoea, syphilis, genital herpes, chlamydiasis, genital warts, trichomoniasis, hepatitis-B and AIDS are some of the common STDs. Haemophilia is sex-linked recessive disease, which show its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of male progeny. Sickle cell anaemia is an autoimmune linked recessive trait in which both the partners are carrier for the gene

So, the correct answer is 'Chances of a five years old boy contracting a STD are very little',

Which is not a sexually transmitted disease?

  1. Genital warts

  2. Trichomoniasis

  3. Chlamydiasis

  4. Syphilis

  5. Myasthenia gravis

Show answer
Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Diseases or infections which are transmitted through sexual intercourse with infected persons are collectively called sexually transmitted diseases(STDs).

Examples- HIV leading AIDS, gonorrhoea, Syphilis, Chlamydiasis, Genital herpes, Genital warts, Hepatitis-B, Trichomonasis, Enterobiasis, Scabies, Candidiasis.
Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body, including the arms and legs. In this condition, antibodies, which are proteins that normally attack foreign, harmful substances in the body, attack the neuromuscular junction.
So, the corrrect answer is 'Myasthenia gravis'.

  1. Christmas disease

  2. Klinefelter's syndrome

  3. Phenylketonuria

  4. Albinism

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
In haemophilia, the blood does not clot as it should. Haemophilia is normally an inherited disorder. It happens because of a defect in one of the clotting factor genes on the X chromosome. Haemophilia tends to occur in males since the gene can be passed from mother to son. Males typically lack a second X chromosome so they are unable to make up for the defective gene. Most females have XX sex chromosomes while most males have XY sex chromosomes.
Haemophilia B, also known as "Christmas disease," occurs when a person lacks clotting factor IX.
So, the correct answer is 'Christmas disease'.

Assertion:  Males suffer from sex-linked disorders more often than females.

Reason: Sex-linked traits are mostly governed by recessive genes.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

All of the diseases like AIDS, Gonorrhoea, hepatitis- B, chlamydiosis, and syphilis are sexually transmitted diseases. While cholera, malaria, hemophilia are water-borne, parasitic and Mendelian disorders respectively.

So the correct option is 'Gonorrhoea, hepatitis- B, chlamydiasis'.

The symptom of hepatitis B is

  1. Environmental ethic method

  2. Biological control method

  3. Bio accumulation method

  4. Bio magnification method

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

There are different forms of pest control methods for the elimination of the insects and pests. If a farmer introduces the organisms or pests which can act on the other harmful pests, known as the biological control method. This method involves the use of living organisms for the eradication of the insects in the farm which destroy the crops. The lizards feed on the insects and protect the crops. 

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
